    I guess he is lucky the engine only overheated and began to seize up, I've seen a few race engines become bombs from too much nitrous.
    If he was practicing for cutting competition, I see 1 thing wrong and there was probably at least another
    Competitions are not done with seasoned hard woods, and as much attention is paid to the chain as the engine

    You can't just add nitrous, you must also add more fuel...

    Heard him say "same thing happened to my 441".
    If that's referring to a BSA Victor, he's long over due serious discipline, young whippersnapper.

    Now, if competition cutting includes getting a campfire going, he's in the pole position.

    I saw the title to this thread and thought "that isn't gonna end well" then I clicked on the link and dang it if I wasn't right.

    I agree with Frank, the guy is lucky the thing didn't just explode on him.
